  • New colours from Max Factor Glossfinity

    I’m riding the crest of a wave here with nail posts this week and I just have to show off these glossy new additions to Max Factor’s Glossfinity collection. Aren’t they pretty? Pigmented, easy-peasy to apply and glossy without a top coat. The formula is neither too thin nor too thick, it’s just right. They…

  • Rococo Dollar

    Cast your minds back to last September when I gave you a sneak peak at Rococo’s new collection Modern Metallica. Isn’t that gold gorgeous? Well the lovely folk at Rococo sent me the silver-esque Dollar from the same collection to try. Unfortunately I misplaced the bottle until six months later when I found it. Much…

  • Avon Speed Dry+ nail polishes

    I’m kind of dubious of products which claim to measure against time so when these polishes from Avon dropped onto my porch, the cynacism in me was on high alert. Dry in 30 seconds? Yeah, right. This past week I’ve had naked nails. Why? By the time I am ready to sit down and relax,…

  • Bourjois Aristo Clash collection

    The French fancy that is Bourjois has a cute new collection for winter 2013, the brilliantly titled Aristo Clash collection – so called because it knocks elegance together with a spot of eccentricity. It’s a mix of purple and grey and in Bourjois style, is nothing short of being chic. From it I thought I’d…

  • Trind Caring Colors

    It’s been all quiet on the talons front as a few severe splits and breakages meant hacking my nails down to the bare minimum. Now that they are at a reasonably presentable stage I can do a quick nails post with this utterly beautiful colour by Trind Caring Colors I bought in a Covent Garden pharmacy last weekend. I’d…

  • Bourjois in Fuchsia bucolique

    It’s Friday, it’s the weekend and I wanted to share this gorgeous pink from Bourjois’s 1 Seconde polish collection. What do you think? Bourjois’s 1 Seconde Nail Polish costs £5.99 and is available from Boots and Superdrug in store, www.boots.com and www.superdrug.com. *PR sample*

  • Bourjois in Rouge Poppy

    A quick post on this beauty from Bourjois. Rouge Poppy is from their popular 1 Seconde nail polish range and it’s a fabulous orangey red shade. Lusciously thick in formula yet easy to work with, the fanned brush is the winning factor making it a doddle to apply, and the gel-like glossy creme finishing is an…

  • New nail polishes from MeMeMe

    I realise nail polish reviews have been somewhat sparse on Just Nice Things and it’s because of two good reasons: the first was a major chop of the talons following a few splits and breakages, and the second was wearing a gel manicure for almost three weeks. I apologise for the big hold-up but hopefully…

  • Miss Merx’s manis

    I keep staring at my nails…would you just look at them? Isn’t this the finest manicure you’ve seen? This is the work of Mercedez Merx aka Miss Merx, fellow beauty blogger and a freelance nail technician who doesn’t cut corners in her job and is passionate about keeping nails healthy. Mercedez has years of experience under…
